Matches made in Heaven by Sundari Venkatraman: madeinheaven.com

I received Matches made in Heaven by Sundari Venkatraman as a review copy and am reviewing it story by story. All the more fun.

The seventh story in this book of thirteen stories is ‘madeinheaven.com’. Menka is twenty four years old and her parents are hunting high and low for a groom for two years and have not been successful yet. Menka hasn’t liked even one proposal that had come across and there had been a few hundreds. And then her parents start browsing a new website – www.madeinheaven.com. Menka fills up the requisite details and posts her photo on the website for her father’s sake.

My take:

I loved the story a lot maybe because I was in Menka’s boat when my parents were groomhunting and would reject every proposal at the slightest pretext. A well written story depicting the feelings of the characters beautifully.
